Abstract
The theory of the radiative tunnel transitions (RTT) of electrons between trapping centres in crystal lattice is applied to the case of hopping conduction (HC) in the strong electric field. This HC occurs by the successive downward spontaneous RTT of electrons (holes) between the localised states near the Fermi level. At each hop the excess energy is emitted as a long-wavelength photon. The numerical estimation of the relative contribution of the HC by RTT is made for the heavily doped compensated germanium.
